Weird: Text disappears on rotation

Question

I have a map application where booth numbers are being auto-generated for the booths.

In the map controls, you can rotate the map 90 degrees and when the map is at 0 degrees of rotation, the booth numbers show up just fine. However, at -90, -180 and 90 the text is gone.

Here's the map http://build.map-dynamics.com/dev

Here's the function used to generate the text fields:

function addTextField(childObj, textValue){
    var myTextField:TextField = new TextField();
    myTextField.text = textValue;
    var myRectangle = childObj.getBounds(childObj);

    myTextField.width = (childObj.width/childObj.scaleX);
    myTextField.x = 0+myRectangle.x;
    myTextField.y = 0+myRectangle.y + (myRectangle.height/2)-6;
    myTextField.mouseEnabled = false;

    myTextField.selectable = false;  
    myTextField.border = false; 
    myTextField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;    
    var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); 
    myFormat.color = 0x000000;  
    myFormat.size = (text_size / childObj.scaleX);  
    myFormat.font = "Arial";

    myTextField.setTextFormat(myFormat);    
    childObj.addChildAt(myTextField,1);  
}

Even just some idea of where to start looking would be helpful.

it means that the font is not embedded.

try embedding it (might take more than myTextField.embedFont = true;)
